I don't base my oppinions on salary but on role. Quoting you..... "Unhappy: Ribeiro(he is gone), Bulis(he is gone...inconsistent), Kovalev( 20goals for 4.5mil and no defensive abilities hmmm), Perez( sorry..anyone say Petrov), Komi( too slow this year), Zednik(did he get fat and lazy???), Markov( yep, his playoff performance ruined his season for me), Souray( got burned WAAAAY too many times), Streit( yuk), Bonk, Sundstrom( he is gone)." Sounds to me like you are basing a lot of it on their salary.
Well...Uhmmm...I have noticed you have mixed Muller93 and superhab up a few times...either your drunk...or operating at a two year old level... basically your feathers are ruffled because I put Koivu on the happy list( out of his 10 years in the league...this past season was on par per his norm). I just think kovalev could do more that's all...don't you? wheras, Koivu was exactly as expected... In any case, we can agree to disagree...armchair GM's...but I bet my team would make your team look silly
And if I am ... I apologize... but if you insinuate I'm a 2 year old or drunk again.... I'll be screaming for the moderators to take care of you... I have not insulted any poster on this site..... mind your words.... I can name call with the best of them. Maybe it's because the 2 of you say the same damn things constantly.
All this praise for Alexei, i don't understand. Heres what i do understand, Alexei is the most offensively talented player on the Habs, and with 69 games he has 65 points which is good BUT not for a guy making 4.5 million and who floats from time to time. He doesn't give it his all, and should be up in the 70 points even if he only played 69 games. Alexi played well in the first two games in the playoffs but after that he was invisable. That whole rumor of him being hurt was garbage and fabricated. The argument that is linemates are not up to his caliber again is a incorrect statement. He played the same with Ribs as he did with Saks. And Kovy's game is not about being set up it is about making room for himself and dishing it off for a tap in or shooting it in.
You said this though!
Forgive my quick posting.... the point is still valid!!!

You got me there. But he still doesn't play his role which is how he earns his money. I used the money to back up that point but it is not why i "bash" Kovalev

My point is Koivu wasn't playing his role for a while this season either. As much as I love the guy... he failed at his "Captainly duties" a bit this season too. Just like Kovy did his "goal scoring duties".
Kovy acts too big for his britches, I know this. He needs to realize that knowing he's the best is not enough to be able to strut around like he's the best.... he has to be the best to act that way.
i.e. My daughter is a straight A student & is in advanced studies. Before this came about, her marks slipped in math... all the way down to a C+. When I asked the teacher why this had happened, she said "her work is not complete... can't mark what isn't done". When I asked my daughter why her work is incomplete... she stated that "Her teacher knew that she could do the work perfectly & she didn't have to keep doing it to prove it". Well guess what... She was wrong-o, & so is Kovy.... he's just got to learn it over the off season.
Also, Remember it was not too long ago there were accusations being made & posts being debated & views being rebuked about Koivu's play / Leadership skills...
